Computer Assisted Pronunciation Teaching (CAPT) and Pedagogy: Improving EFL learners’ Pronunciation Using Clear Pronunciation 2 Software
This study examined the impact of Clear Pronunciation 2 software on teaching English suprasegmental features, focusing on stress, rhythm and intonation. In particular, the software covers five topics in relation to suprasegmental features including consonant cluster, word stress, connected speech, sentence stress and intonation. Seven Iranian EFL learners participated in this study. The study l...

Pronunciation exercises in training systems should be directed at important properties in th...
متن کاملOptimizing Computer-assisted Pronunciation Instruction by Selecting Relevant Training Topics
We introduce a novel method to diagnose pronunciation errors that are most critical to the intelligibility of L2 learners. A prelimiary study showed that error rates computed by a speech recognition-based system can be used to characterize intelligibility. We deduce a probabilistic algorithm to derive intelligibility from error rates. We also define an error priority function that indicates whi...
